Wellies or sunhats?

"There is a lot of speculation about another mud washed Glastonbury, but currently it looks more likely to be fine, dry and quite warm so sandals rather than wellies," says Leon Brown, meteorologist at The Weather Channel UK.

Not a mud bath in sight

Any tickets left?

Sadly, the answer to this question is a big fat no. Tickets originally went on sale in October and sold out in record time with 120,000 snapped up in one hour and 27 minutes.

Music fans had a second bite at the apple, with a ticket re-sale in April, but they were gone in just 16 minutes.

You must be registered before you can buy a ticket so don't be tempted to get one from a tout - it will be fake.

What should I wear?

Despite the predicted good weather, it wouldn't be Glastonbury without the wellies so don't be shy about pulling on the comfy all-purpose footwear.

Glam them up with some sequinned shorts or leather skirt, a loose fitting print T-shirt, brightly coloured satchel bag and some big sunglasses.

As for male festival goers, opt for long shorts and a cool tee. Job done!

By train, car or space hopper?

A LOT of people will be descending on the small Somerset town so make sure you make travel plans in advance.

Festival organisers encourage you to travel by public transport to reduce carbon footprint. Coach tickets with National Express start at £15 for one-way.

Castle Cary Train Station will be BUSY

The closest train station is Castle Cary and First Great Western are offering a special service. There's also a free shuttle bus from the station to the festival site.

If you decide to drive, parking costs £25 and can be booked in advance from the festival's official website. Consider finding travel buddies through a lift-share site.

Tune into the festival radio station Worthy FM for traffic news and extra info once you're within 25 miles of Glastonbury.

Which area should I head for?

The site covers a massive 9000 acres, with a huge range of different areas, appealing to every possible taste.

Head to the Silver Hayes for techno, dance and global acts playing on the Sonic Stage.

If you want to relax, there's the Green Fields, where you'll find 60 acres of calm. Or head to the Theatre and Circus field for some old-fashioned entertainment, cabaret, acrobats and a circus big top.

Or why not try a bit of everything.

Can I take booze?

You can take alcoholic drinks with you, but amounts that are considered "beyond reasonable personal use" will be confiscated at the gate. Glass bottles will also be confiscated. There are beer tents around the festival with the costs matching London pub prices.

What about the rats?

Watch out for the rats!

In April, expert predicted that the festival could be invaded by giant rats, drawn to the huge amounts of discarded food.

Matt Phillips, from Urban Pest Control told the Daily Star: "If you show rats a food source they will flock to be near that food. "So with festivals, rats will come in off the fields to the campsites."

Last year two music fans and a security guard were bitten at the Evolution Festival.

You have been warned!

How bad are the toilets?

The only bad bit about festivals

In typical hippy Glasto fashion, there are only a small number of flushable loos, but there are a few environmentally friendly alternatives.

The traditional festival "long drops" are lockable and open air with more than 2000 on the site. There are also more than 1000 compost loos which feature sawdust to sprinkle after you've done your business.

Any scandal?

We're sure this year's Glastonbury will bring its own dramas but so far, iconic US rock band Metallica have brought the controversy ever since they were announced as headliners.

Jarvis Cocker predicts they'll bomb as he says they're "too abrasive" for hippy festival goers. Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys says the decision for them to headline "doesn't add up ." It doesn't help that that the band singer and guitarist James is an avid hunter and member of America's National Rifle Association either.

After all the debate, we can't wait to see how the veterans rockers go down.

What else?

In celebration of country queen Dolly Parton's appearance at the festival, Theatre and Circus have launched "Dolly Mob".

It's a flash mob that's all about Ms Parton. Simply learn the dance routine in the video below and then be prepared to break out the moves whenever you hear Jolene being played.
